He had bill passed to create in
every county new officer to be
known as Commissioner Of Sales,
who was to have the exclusive
right to sell all property ordered to
be sold by the courts. This Off
Ger would have gotten q big salary
in every county and city OF the
State. In Richmond he would have
rocketed nearly forty thousand
dollars a year. Malone also had a
scheme to pension a newspaper IN
every county to be run in his inter.
est at the cost of the | eople. He
also had a scheme to kick out eve.

with creatures of his own. lie tried
to have new apportlonmrnt bill
passed giving the Democrats OF
the State two members of Con-

He put through one branch of the
General Assembly Railroad Com
missloner's bill by which he would
have gotten control of all the rail-
road lines in the State and their
officers and employees. With such
an army of office holders and re-
tainerS he would have gotten per
manent possession of Virginia and
her people.
The Democratic party thwarted
these nctarious schemes and crush

the liberties of the people. Malone

candidates dare not declare them
selves openly as opposed to the

look for nearly all the votes they
